Target Disease - Disease Name: Pulmonary hypertension (PH); Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) - MONDO ID: MONDO_0005149 (pulmonary hypertension); PAH (EFO_0001361) - Category: Cardiovascular Disorder
Pathophysiology description (narrative) Pulmonary hypertension is a syndrome defined hemodynamically by mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) >20 mmHg and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, culminating in right-ventricular (RV) failure. In PAH (Group 1), the small distal pulmonary arteries develop “proliferative, fibrotic, and plexogenic” remodeling on a background of endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction, and thrombosis, driven by crosstalk among BMPR2/TGF-β superfamily signaling, inflammation/immune activation, metabolic reprogramming, mitochondrial dysfunction, hypoxia/HIF signaling, ion channel dysregulation, and epigenetic/transcriptional programs. These mechanisms involve pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs), smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), fibroblasts/pericytes, and infiltrating immune cells, and are increasingly considered tractable therapeutic targets, including rebalancing of activin versus BMP signaling (e.g., sotatercept) and inhibition of PDGFRβ signaling (e.g., imatinib/seralutinib) (Sep 2023; American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). A 2024 time-course transcriptomic study in rat experimental PH emphasizes the centrality of cell-cycle activation and proliferative programs during progression (Jun 2024; Scientific Reports) (luo2024transcriptomicprofilinghighlights pages 10-11). Recent pathway syntheses also underscore roles for hypoxia/HIF, NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition as drivers of remodeling and vasculopathy (Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2025) (aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 29-30, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 31-32).
Key concepts and definitions - Hemodynamic definition: PH as mPAP >20 mmHg with elevated PVR; lowered thresholds emphasize early detection (Sep 2023; Am J Respir Crit Care Med) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). - Five clinical groups (ESC/ERS 2022): PAH (Group 1), left-heart disease (Group 2), lung disease/hypoxia (Group 3), chronic thromboembolic PH (Group 4), and miscellaneous (Group 5); shared and distinct mechanisms across groups (overview and mechanistic framing) (2025 synthesis citing 2022 guidelines) (aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2).
1) Core Pathophysiology - Primary mechanisms: endothelial dysfunction with apoptosis and clonal expansion; vasoconstriction; proliferative/plexiform arteriopathy; ECM deposition/fibrosis; in situ thrombosis; RV maladaptation (Sep 2023; Am J Respir Crit Care Med) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - Dysregulated molecular pathways: imbalance in TGF-β superfamily tuning of BMP versus activin signaling (BMPR2 axis); growth factor/RTK signaling (e.g., PDGFRβ) driving PASMC/pericyte proliferation; hypoxia/HIF stabilization; inflammatory NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling; metabolic reprogramming (glycolytic shift, mTOR); mitochondrial dysfunction; ion-channel remodeling; epigenetic/transcription factor dysregulation (Sep 2023; Am J Respir Crit Care Med; 2025 pathway synthesis) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 29-30, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 31-32). - Affected cellular processes: cell-cycle activation and apoptosis resistance in PASMCs and PAECs; EndMT; fibroblast activation; immune cell recruitment and cytokine/growth-factor secretion; ECM remodeling (Sep 2023; Am J Respir Crit Care Med; Jun 2024 Scientific Reports) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4, luo2024transcriptomicprofilinghighlights pages 10-11).
2) Key Molecular Players - Genes/Proteins (HGNC): - BMPR2 (HGNC:1071) and BMP ligands (BMP9/BMP10) with downstream SMAD1/5/9: loss-of-function variants and signaling impairment are central in heritable and idiopathic PAH; restoration of SMAD1/5 signaling can rescue cellular phenotypes in models (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - SMAD9 (HGNC:6765), ACVRL1 (ALK1; HGNC:171), ENG (endoglin; HGNC:3349): TGF-β/BMP axis components implicated in PAH (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - EIF2AK4 (GCN2; HGNC:3255): causally linked to PVOD/PCH (Group 1’); recognized in PH genetics expansions (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). - KCNK3 (TASK-1; HGNC:11840): ion-channel mutations/aberrant function contribute to vasoconstriction and proliferation (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - TBX4 (HGNC:11574), SOX17 (HGNC:11191): transcriptional regulators contributing to developmental and adult-onset PAH; SOX17 variants associated with severe phenotype (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - CAV1 (HGNC:1527): caveolae/endothelial signaling, implicated in vascular dysfunction (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - Chemical Entities (CHEBI)/Drugs relevant to mechanisms and trials: - Sotatercept (ligand trap for activins/ActRIIA-Fc): rebalances pro-proliferative activin signaling, advancing outcomes in PAH (2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). - PDGFR inhibitors: imatinib and inhaled seralutinib are highlighted mechanistically as anti-proliferative approaches targeting PASMC/pericyte expansion (2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). - Cell Types (CL): PAECs (CL:0000115); PASMCs (CL:0000746); adventitial fibroblasts (CL:0002553); pericytes (CL:0000669); macrophages and other immune cells (multiple CL terms) (mechanistic framing) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2). - Anatomical Locations (UBERON): small pulmonary arterioles (UBERON:0001981), pulmonary artery (UBERON:0002114), right ventricle (UBERON:0002080) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4).

5) Disease Progression (sequence of events) - Initiation: endothelial injury and apoptosis with loss of BMPR2/BMP protective signaling; early vasoconstriction from ion-channel changes and NO/prostacyclin–endothelin imbalance (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4). - Propagation: EndMT; PASMC and fibroblast proliferation and survival (cell-cycle activation); ECM deposition and occlusive (“plexiform”) lesions; perivascular immune infiltration fueling cytokine/growth-factor loops; metabolic reprogramming and mitochondrial dysfunction reinforce proliferation and apoptosis resistance (Sep 2023; Jun 2024) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4, luo2024transcriptomicprofilinghighlights pages 10-11). - Clinical manifestation: progressive elevation of PVR and mPAP, RV hypertrophy/dysfunction and failure (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2, johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 2-4).

Current applications and real-world implementations (selected examples with pathophysiology links) - Pathway-directed therapy beyond vasodilators: clinical advances with sotatercept (activin signaling trap) reflect targeting of a core disease pathway (TGF-β superfamily imbalance) (Sep 2023) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). Anti-proliferative RTK inhibition (PDGFRβ) is an active area (imatinib/seralutinib) (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2). - Mechanistic targets under study/preclinical support: NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition, PI3K/Akt/mTOR modulation, and HIF pathway interventions are recurrent strategies in preclinical/early translational literature (2025 synthesis of 20+ pathways) (aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 29-30, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 31-32).

Notes and limitations - Where possible, we prioritized 2023–2024 primary and review sources. For pathway breadth and preclinical intervention mapping, we cited a 2025 comprehensive synthesis when 2023–2024 sources did not explicitly enumerate comparable cross-pathway tables (aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 1-2, aduamankwaah2025signalingpathwaysand pages 31-32). Additional quantitative clinical-trial effect sizes (e.g., for TORREY seralutinib, Phase 3 sotatercept) were not detailed here because those specific datasets were not among the retrieved texts; however, mechanistic and trial‑framing statements are supported (johnson2023pulmonaryhypertensiona pages 1-2).
